That's good news, Rex! Cool story.
I had been hoping this was the one that was stolen at the WSP in Florida.
Has anyone heard anything further about that one?

No. As the story says, the recovered meteorite was stolen from a museum.

Clear skies, Alan

NO, the one stolen at WSP I'm afraid we'll never see again... :C
I'm amazed at what some "people" do..., very sad.
